Re: [RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

I've been commuting with an SP PD8 on my Quickbeam and it has been great. I bought the disc version because I have another disc compatible frame I might switch it over to later. I think the SP is a great choice at the sub-SON price point. Pete in CT -- You received this message because you a

Re: [RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

I have used the Shimano 70 and 80 series dyno hubs and the SP PV-8. All of them work fine, but if you do an occasional brevet, then maybe it's worth spending a little extra and getting the SP (I did a SR brevet series with the PV-8). I have the IQ Cyo, but now I would get the IQ Cyo premium. The B&

Re: [RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

Hi Jim, In SP-parlance, PV-8 = Rim brake dynamo hub for larger wheels*, roughly equivalent to the SON 28. SV-8 = Rim brake dynamo hub for smaller wheels (or lower resistance/lower power with larger wheels), roughly equivalent to the SON*delux.* The "V" denotes rim brake use, meaning no disc b

Re: [RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

Yeah, if you're going for value, I'd say get the shimano hub and the luxos (?) light with the latest B&M optics. They're the same as in the edelux II but they're cheaper. I went whole hog on a son28 and edelux and haven't looked back. Well, unless I'm checking to see if the taillight is still work

[RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

Any current production dynamo hub will work with any current production LED headlight, so no issues there. On Tuesday, January 21, 2014 12:16:58 AM UTC-5, Michael wrote: > > Anyone know if the Shimano 3N80 will work with the new Edelux II light? >> > Is that a good match? > will any hub work with

I talked to Anthony a while back, I agree he is nice to work with unlike another person mentioned in this thread. However, I don't see the SP hubs on his site http://www.longleafbicycles.com/collections/dynohubs Maybe the site just isn't updated? On Mon, Jan 20, 2014 at 9:06 PM, Dan McNamara wr

Re: [RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

That's very interesting about SP hubs, didn't know about them. Their website is a bit confusing though, what's the difference between the PV-8 and the SV-8, other than 23 grams and $13 at current exchange rates? Both appear to be for rim brakes, have a 60mm hub diameter and a 100mm OLD. http://w

[RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

Another endorsement for B&M lights and Shimano Dyno hubs... I built up a 650B set back in March and a 700C one in Sept. Both have worked very well. The latest B&M Cyo Premium from Peter White is unbelievably good, highest recommendation. The broad and even light field is sweet. I'm running

Re: [RBW] Re: Advice/WTB: Dynamo wheel and/or light

Haha, fair fair. I do worry about the bike some, but I use a gnarly fahgettaboudit U-lock and I certainly do not leave it in the same place each day. I'd be happy to talk about the theory and practice of this, but perhaps a different thread is in order =). Back to the point at hand, I'm more wo

I've bought from both Tree Fort Bikes and Outside Outfitters. Both had been good to me and I can recommend them as a satisfied customer. The "Shimano Dynamo" wheel from Outside Outfitters probably requires a bit of investigation as Shimano make quite a few dynamo hubs. You may also want to cons

I realize I didn't mention much about my setup. It's 700c Atlantis that I use to commute every day. I also do occasional longer rides, brevets and tours but I am more concerned about price than theoretical performance (i.e. having the very best). Particularly because I lock this bike up on the
